## Summary description

MetzConnect 130863-01-E network extender supports Cat6, Cat6a and Cat7 cable types and accepts 0.5 A input current. Designed to extend network connections and maintain signal integrity across shielded and unshielded twisted-pair installations. Suitable for cabling repairs, link extensions and industrial or commercial Ethernet runs where compatible cable classes are used.

## Long description

The MetzConnect 130863-01-E network extender is designed to join or extend twisted-pair Ethernet cabling up to Cat.7A. It accepts solid conductor data lines from AWG 26/1 to 22/1 and supports cable feed from one or both sides, enabling repairs, link extensions and cable splitting in industrial and commercial network installations. The unit features a fully shielded metal housing and IP67 protection provided by a special shrink tube to maintain signal integrity and environmental protection where required.
Advantages
The extender supports Cat6, Cat6a and Cat7 cable classes and is compatible with Cat.6 connectors to meet class E to ISO/IEC 11801 Ed.2.2:2011-06 when used in the specified combinations. Its fully shielded metal housing together with a captive 360° shield connection and strain relief provide a robust electromagnetic and mechanical connection. IP67 protection ensures the joint is resistant to dust and temporary immersion when the shrink tube is applied. The device accepts a 0.5 A input and allows cable sharing — splitting a single 8-wire cable into two 4-wire runs — which can simplify certain installation needs.
Suitable for
Extending or repairing Cat6, Cat6a and Cat7 Ethernet links
Outdoor or harsh-environment joints where IP67 protection is required
Industrial or commercial Ethernet runs with shielded cabling
Situations requiring cable sharing (splitting one 8-wire cable into two 4-wire cables)
Installations using solid conductors AWG 26/1 to 22/1
When it may not be suitable
This extender is intended for solid conductor twisted-pair cables within the specified AWG range and for use with Cat.6/6a/7 cable classes; it may not be suitable for installations using stranded patch cords or conductor sizes outside AWG 26/1–22/1. If a permanent, factory-sealed inline connector or a different protection rating is required, consider alternative products specifically designed for those needs.
Key specifications
Cable category compatibility: Cat6, Cat6a, Cat7 (suitable with Cat7A)
Conductor type: solid wire, AWG 26/1 to AWG 22/1
Cable feed: one-sided or two-sided entry
Shielding: fully shielded metal housing with captive 360° shield connection
Protection class: IP67 when shrink tube applied
Supports cable sharing: one 8-wire to two 4-wire splits (requires cable ties)
Standards compliance: class E to ISO/IEC 11801 Ed.2.2:2011-06 in combination with compatible cables and connectors
Input current: 0.5 A
How to use
Prepare the Cat6/6a/7 solid conductors by stripping the jacket and arranging the individual wires according to the required pairing. Insert the prepared solid wires into the extender contacts, ensuring correct pair alignment. Apply the supplied or recommended cable ties for cable sharing configurations if splitting an 8-wire cable into two 4-wire outputs. Secure the shield to the captive 360° connection and engage the strain relief. Slide the special shrink tube over the assembled joint and apply heat as instructed to achieve the IP67 seal. Verify continuity and signal quality after installation.
What to consider before purchase
Required cable type: use solid conductor Cat6, Cat6a or Cat7 cables within AWG 26/1–22/1
Whether you need cable splitting functionality and the space to apply cable ties
Environmental protection needs — IP67 protection depends on correct shrink tube application
Compatibility with existing connectors and compliance requirements for class E installations
Maximum input current requirement of 0.5 A
Usage recommendations
For reliable performance, use quality solid conductor shielded cables, ensure the shield connection is continuous with the captive 360° contact, and follow proper shrink-tube heating procedures to achieve the IP67 rating. Test the link after installation to confirm signal integrity and compliance with your network class requirements.
